Co Leader of the NZ Outdoors Party David Haynes a research Chemist has released a very important work on OSPRI / 1080 and the facts. This will blow OSPRIS claims out of the water."After six months of data analysis, we are proud to release the findings of how little OSPRI monitor the effectiveness of their aerial 1080 operations. The report can be found HERE" http://www.outdoorsparty.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Empirical-Data-Analysi...

Well done. This further establishes the scam of bTb and possums bing used to justify the mass poisoning of our country. I am pleased that yet another entity has come to the same conclusions NZWBM has over the past decade. What the Outdoors party needs to do now is make a public statement with recommended actions to parliament and the justice system to correct the scam.

This is great stuff...But...Hang on a minute mate....For 30 years output contract trappers have been saying the same thing..,AND...DOC and OSPRI commissioned scientific reports have also been saying the same thing, for, at least, the last 30 years. This even goes back before AHB/TBFree/OSPRI was formed and the Pest Boards and the Agriculture Pest Destruction Council was in charge of the poisoning of possums.

Why is it that this is suddenly something new, when it has always been known, to be fact, without a new independent report being commissioned.

A better way to go about proving, what this new report does prove, would be to publish a summary of all the DSIR, AgResearch and Landcare reports that have already come to the same conclusion.

What is new is the report is that it quantifies exactly how little monitoring of possum numbers occurs by OSPRI. I do a lot of reading and issued a lot of OIAs and can assure all forum members that no-one, not even the EPA themselves, have ever crunched the numbers of how little pre- and post- drop possum monitoring is done.
